  • A button cell refers to a cell that is shaped like a button, and generally has a large diameter and a thin thickness. Due to the small volume of the button cell, it has been widely used in a variety of miniature electronic devices, for example, the wearable electronic device field and the medical product field and the like. In the prior art, the button cell includes a housing, a conductive member and a sealing member. The housing is provided with a through hole that communicates with a chamber for accommodating an electrolyte, the conductive member covers the through hole and is disposed outside of the button cell, and the conductive member is attached to the housing through a sealing rubber ring; and the sealing member covers an injection port of the conductive member. However, since the interior of the button cell is a closed space, the existing button cell has a problem of low safety and stability.
  • In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a button cell and an electronic device. By disposing a conductive member on a side of a top cover facing an accommodating chamber, an extrusion force of the conductive member to the top cover is larger than an adhesive force between a conductive member that is disposed on a side of a top cover away from the accommodating chamber and the top cover in the prior art, in this way, the tolerance of the conductive member to the pressure inside the button cell is increased, thereby reducing the damage caused when the battery explosion, and further enhancing the safety and the stability of the button cell.
  • A button cell and an electronic device provided in the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a button cell provided in the present disclosure; and FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a conductive member in the button cell provided in FIG. 1 .
  • The present disclosure provides a button cell including a housing 10 and a cover assembly 20; the housing 10 includes a bottom wall 11 and an annular side wall 12, a bottom end of the side wall 12 is integrally formed with the bottom wall 11; the cover assembly 20 includes a top cover 21 having a through hole at its central area and a conductive member 22 covering the through hole, and the conductive member 22 is connected with the top cover 21 in an insulated manner; an outer edge of the top cover 21 is welded to a top end of the side wall 12 to form an accommodating chamber 101 accommodating an electrode assembly 30 and an electrolyte; an outer surface of the outer edge of the top cover 21 has a welding mark, with a welding penetration extending in a direction from the top cover 21 to the side wall 12; and the conductive member 22 is disposed on a side of the top cover 21 facing the accommodating chamber 101.
  • A cross-section of the housing 10 may be of any shape such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape. Here, it is not limited in the present disclosure.
  • The through hole is disposed on the top cover 21, so that the top cover 21 forms an annular structure. The through hole may be of a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape and the like, and is not specifically limited herein.
  • The electrode assembly 30 is located within the accommodating chamber 101. The electrode assembly 30 includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator for separating the positive electrode sheet and the negative positive electrode sheet; a first tab 31 is disposed on the positive electrode sheet, and the first tab 31 may be disposed on the positive electrode sheet by welding, a second tab 32 is disposed on the negative electrode sheet, and the second tab 32 may be disposed on the negative electrode sheet by welding; during a winding process, the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet and the separator are wound layer by layer from a winding head end in the same direction and finally form the electrode assembly 30.
  • The first tab 31 and the housing 10 are electrically connected by welding and the like, and the second tab 32 and the conductive member 22 are also electrically connected by welding or bonding. The housing 10 and the conductive member 22 are electrically connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electronic device, respectively, so that the electrode assembly 30 supplies electric energy to the electronic device through the housing 10 and the conductive member 22.
  • Since the electrode assembly 30 supplies electric energy to the electronic device through the housing 10 and the conductive member 22, the housing 10 and the conductive member 22 may be made of metal material, such as stainless steel, copper, iron, aluminum and other metal material.
  • The conductive member 22 is disposed on the side of the top cover 21 facing the accommodating chamber 101, and abuts against an abutting surface of the top cover 21. The through hole is covered by the conductive member 22, and the conductive member 22 and the top cover 21 are connected in an insulated and hermetical manner. The insulated and hermetical connection between the conductive member 22 and the top cover 21 may be achieved by bonding with an insulated seal ring, or may be realized by other ways, which is not specifically set herein.
  • An injection port 221 for injecting the electrolyte into the accommodating chamber 101 is also disposed in the conductive member 22, and may be of any shape such as circle, quadrilateral, polygon and the like. In one embodiment, the injection port 221 is concentrically disposed with the conductive member 22, and the conductive member 22 is concentrically disposed with the accommodating chamber 101 for accommodating the electrode assembly 30.
  • It should be noted that in order to improve the connection sealability between the conductive member 22 and the top cover 21, the conductive member 22 may be bonded to an inner wall of top cover 21 through a sealing rubber ring 40 by means of heating and pressurizing. In this way, the bonding reliability of the sealing rubber ring 40 may be improved, thereby enhancing the connection sealability between the conductive member 22 and the top cover 21.
  • In the button cell provided in the present disclosure, by providing the conductive member 22 on the side of the top cover 21 facing the accommodating chamber 101, an extrusion force of the conductive member 22 to the top cover 21 is larger than an adhesive force between a conductive member disposed on a side of a top cover away from the accommodating chamber and the top cover in the prior art, thereby increasing the tolerance of the conductive member 22 to the pressure inside the button cell, reducing the damage caused by the button cell explosion, and improving the safety and stability of the button cell.
  • Optionally, the cover assembly 20 further includes a sealing member 23 covering an injection port 221, the sealing member 23 is located on a side of the conductive member 22 facing away from the accommodating chamber 101, and the abutting surface between the conductive member 22 and an inner wall of the top cover 21 is a horizontal plane. The abutting surface between the conductive member 22 and the inner wall of the top cover 21 is configured to be a horizontal plane, so that the structure of the conductive member 22 is simple, thereby reducing the processing cost of the button cell.
  • Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the top cover 21 is in a disc shape, the through hole is a circular hole, the conductive member 22 is in a disc shape, and a diameter of the through hole is smaller than a diameter of the conductive member 22. Therefore, an edge of conductive member 22 and an edge of through hole are at least partially stacked in a radial direction, which increases the bearing capacity of the conductive member 22 on the pressure in the button cell, and the through hole and the conductive member 22 are closely bonded through the sealing rubber ring 40 by means of heating and pressurizing, which improves the sealing performance of the button cell.
  • Since the fact that the larger a size of one-sided stacked portion of the edges of the conductive member 22 and of the through hole in the radial direction, the better the tolerance of the conductive member 22 to the pressure inside the button cell, in one embodiment, the size of the one-sided stacked portion of the conductive member 22 and the through hole in the radial direction is greater than or equal to 1 mm and the diameter difference between the conductive member 22 and the top cover 21 is less than or equal to 0.05 mm. In this way, the contact area between the conductive member 22 and the through hole is increased, thereby increasing the tolerance of the conductive member 22 to the internal pressure of button cell.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of a button cell provided in the present disclosure; and FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a conductive member in the button cell provided in FIG. 3 .
  • Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the conductive member 22 is provided with a boss 223 which is arranged through the through hole, and the boss 223 is disposed on a surface of the conductive member 22 abutting against the top cover 21. A surface of the conductive member 22 facing the accommodating chamber is a plane. The injection port 221 penetrates the boss 223, and a center of the boss 223 coincides with a center of the injection port 221.
  • By hermetically connecting the boss 223 with a hole wall of the through hole via the sealing rubber ring 40, the contact area between the conductive member 22 and the through hole is further increased, which not only improves the hermeticity between the conductive member 22 and the through hole, but also enhances the bearing capacity of the conductive member 22 to the internal pressure of the button cell.
  • Further, an end surface of the boss 223 away from the accommodating chamber 101 flushes with an end surface of the housing 10 away from the accommodating chamber 101, or the end surface of the boss 223 away from the accommodating chamber 101 is located between the end surface of the housing 10 away from the accommodating chamber 101 and an end surface of the housing 10 close to the accommodating chamber 101. In this way, the overall structure of the button cell is more compact and the overall aesthetics of the button cell is improved.
  • It should be noted that, according to actual requirements, the center of the boss 223 may not coincide with the center of the injection port 221, and it is not specifically set herein.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of a button cell provided in the present disclosure; and FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of a conductive member in the button cell provided in FIG. 5 .
  • Optionally, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , a counter bore 222 is disposed at an end of the boss 223 away from the accommodating chamber 101, and communicates with the injection port 221. A center of the counter bore 222 coincides with the center of the injection port 221, and the sealing member 23 is disposed in the counter bore. After the electrolyte is injected into the accommodating chamber 101 through the injection port 221, a joint between the sealing member 23 and the counter bore 222 is welded outside the top cover 21, thereby improving the sealing performance between the sealing member 23 and the injection port 221.
  • A shape of the counter bore 222 is the same as that of the injection port 221, that is, when the injection port 221 is circular, the counter bore 222 is also circular.
  • Exemplarily, in an extension direction of the injection port 221, a thickness of a portion of the conductive member 22 abutting against the top cover 21 is between 0.05 mm and 0.2 mm, a thickness of the boss 223 is between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm, and a depth of the counter bore 222 may be between 0.05 mm and 0.45 mm.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a sealing member provided in the present disclosure; FIG. 8 is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-section of the sealing member of FIG. 7 ; FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of a sealing member provided in the present disclosure; FIG. 10 is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-section of the sealing member of FIG. 9 ; FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of a sealing member provided in the present disclosure; FIG. 12 is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-section of the sealing member of FIG. 11 ; FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a fourth structure of a sealing member provided in the present disclosure; and FIG. 14 is a structural schematic diagram of a cross-section of the sealing member of FIG. 13 .
  • Optionally, the sealing member 23 is provided with a thinning area 231.
  • Since the button cell is a closed space, the pressure in the accommodating chamber 101 is relatively large, and when the pressure is too large, the damage degree will be large if a battery explosion occurs. In order to improve the safety and stability of the button cell, in the present disclosure, the thinning area 231 is provided in the sealing member 23. Since the pressure bearing capacity of the thinning area 231 is smaller than that of a region without the thinning area 231, when the internal pressure of the button cell is increased to a maximum critical value of the pressure that the thinning area 231 can bear, the thinning area 231 may crack or be directly broken up under the drive of pressure, and the pressure inside the button cell may be decreased by venting from a cracked or broken position of the thinning area 231; and at this time, the internal pressure of the battery cell does not reach a maximum critical value of the pressure that a non-thinning area can bear. Therefore, if the battery explodes, the damage effect on the battery will be greatly reduced, thereby enhancing the safety and stability of the button cell.
  • In the button cell provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thinning area 231 is provided in the sealing member 23. Since the pressure that the thinning area 231 can bear is smaller than the pressure that the non-thinning area can bear, so when the internal pressure of the button cell is increased to a level of pressure that the thinning area 231 cannot bear, the thinning area 231 may crack or even be broken up. In this way, the pressure in the button cell may be decreased by venting from the thinning area 231 to realize the purpose that the pressure in the button cell can be released in advance, thereby reducing the damage caused by the explosion of button cell and avoiding the technical problem that the internal pressure of the button cell is too large to be discharged in advance, which may cause the damage after explosion to be relative large.
  • Optionally, the thinning area 231 is located on a side of the sealing member 23 facing away from the accommodating chamber 101. By disposing the thinning area 231 on the side of the sealing member 23 facing away from the accommodating chamber 101, that is, a side of the sealing member 23 facing the accommodating chamber 101 is a flat plane, in this way, the safety and stability of the button cell are improved, while avoiding reduced battery life caused by the electrolyte in the accommodating chamber 101 corroding the connection between the thinning area 231 and the area that is not thinned.
  • In an optional implementation, a groove is provided on the side of the sealing member 23 facing away from the accommodating chamber 101, such groove forming the thinning area 231. The groove is provided on the side of the sealing member 23 facing away from the accommodating chamber 101, so that the groove forms the thinning area 231, which is simple in structure and low in processing cost.
  • Optionally, the thinning area 231 may be at least one of a cross groove, a ring groove, or a circle groove.
  • For example, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 , the thinning area 231 is a cross groove; as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the thinning area 231 is a circular ring groove; as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 , the thinning area 231 is a combination of a circular groove and a cross groove; as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , the thinning area 231 is a circle groove. The thinning area 231 may also be an elliptical groove, a rectangular groove, a groove of any other regular shape or a combination of grooves of at least two shapes; or may be a groove of any irregular shape; or may be a combination of grooves having regular or irregular shape, which is not specifically limited herein.
  • Optionally, in order to facilitate processing of the thinning area 231, the center of the thinning area 231 coincides with the center of the injection port 221, which facilitates to align the center of the thinning area 231 at the time of processing the thinning area 231.
  • In an optional implementation, a groove depth of the groove is 0.01 mm-0.1 mm, in this way, while meeting the strength requirements of the sealing member 23 during normal operation, the button cell may be discharged and depressurized in advance when the internal pressure of the button cell is too large, thereby reducing the damage caused by the explosion of button cell, and improving the safety and stability of the button cell.
